verse 10 overdoses. >> it's ready to administrator, go up one nostril. >> must, must, have narcam if you have an addict. you must. because the whole trick of it is, to keep them alive until they finally get it. >> and you should note, in the initial rescue video, no one called 911, it's imperative, whether you have the drug or not, you've got to call 911. thanks for watching. around the world starts now. a gunman opens fire, killing a tsa agent and wounding three other people. at los angeles international airport. today we hear from a friend of the shooter. at the moment that they're seeing this on the tv. their third roommate comes back. saying i just dropped off paul
9:01 am
at l.a.x., he didn't with a to go alone. they just knew. i think you just dropped off paul to a shooting. >> police were just minutes from stopping the attack. and should tsa officers be armed? the shooting at l.a.x. has some pushing for tsa to be armed. and edward snowden says british counterparts to the nsa are some of the worst offenders to government oversight. welcome to "around the world." police came within minutes of stopping the alleged l.a.x. shooter from heading to the airport before friday's rampage. one. new details we're learning today. this is from an exclusive interview with a woman who knows the suspect and his three roommates. 23-year-old paul ciancia is charged with murdering a tsa officer.
9:02 am
ciancia is in critical condition after being shot by police officers. the fbi says he set out to kill tsa employees, and now a woman who knows the suspect tells our miguel marquez, that one roommate, who had no idea what was going on, even drove him to the airport. >> he asked one of the roommates if he could have a ride to the airport. >> why did he need a ride? >> he said he was going back home. either that his dad was kind of sick and he had to deal with some family issues. >> did anyone ever see a ticket? >> no. >> he did mention what day. that morning, he doesn't knock and says, i need to leave. can you take me now. >> did you ever express any hatred toward the government or the tsa? >> he thought that the tsa abused their power. >> police officers showed up at ciancia's apartment about 45 minutes after he took off to the airport. well his father was back in new
9:03 am
jersey, had asked the police to check in on his son, after the family got a disturbing text message, including one that indicated that something bad might happen. so we're talking about 45 minutes between life and death for the victims of the shooting. if the police officers had gotten to the suspect's apartment just a little sooner, the attack might have been stopped. cnn's law enforcement analyst ton fuentes joins us now. i know this is an unusual situation. it's not often that police have that kind of window, that amount of time to intervene in potential lay deadly shooting scenario. what was the text message and what was the warning? >> well, i think, suzanne, from what they're saying about it, is that police were notified there was something wrong with him, and they should check on his well-being. or he had said in his messages, that something bad was going to happen. now imagining or speculating
9:04 am
about what the police would do, had they gotten to his apartment before he left and, find if he a apeered healthy, normal and was fairly articulate, i don't know what the next step would have or could have been for the police beyond that. other than to call the parents back and say we checked on him and he's fine. an then he's doing fine and normal. just depressed or upset. you know, like many people often are. i don't know if there was anything in the messages to tell the police he had an access to an assault rifle or whether it was his rifle or someone else's and he was capable of using the type of weaponry with multiple magazines and bullets. but it's highly speculative to say that the police could have stopped this thing. they could have got tln early and talked to him and thought he was okay. and the next day gn to the airport, you just don't know. >> i want to tell you, attorney general eric holder just weighed
9:05 am
in on the l.a.x. shooting. i want you to listen to what he said. >> close-up of the tsa is to insure that people can board planes safely. take flights safely. the responsibility for protecting airport security is not a tsa function. but something that i think we need to certainly examine, given ha happened in los angeles. >> so tom, he's referring to the potential here, the notion that some are suggesting arming the tsa. do you think that's a good idea? >> the only question about doing that. the tens of thousands of tsa employees. if you start trying to train every one of them, that's going to require classroom training, training on the range. and then recurring training. it's not something you do once and forget about. it's very expensive problem significancings you might have to hire many, many more people to make up for the time that some of the people are going to lose while doing that kind of training. and now you're talking, you know, you're introducing many,
9:06 am
many more weapons into an airport environment. with people who probably are not going to have quite as much training or ability as the local police officers who get expensive training. so you know, the question in this is i think for my mind, isn't so much whether tsa should be armed. think the decisions is for them not to be. the question if they're not armed and if the police know it, where are the police? it is incumbent on the police to have enough officers there, to back them up. because those tsa officers are the first line of inspection before someone goes to the boarding and departure areas of aircraft. that's the issue here, that ciancia had time to shoot the first tsa officer. take an escalator up, take an escalator down, shoot again and there's still no officer in sight. >> we want to take a moment to talk about the victims of the
9:07 am
shooting. tsa officer durado hernandez was shot at point-blank range as he stood near his checkpoint in terminal 3 at l.a.x. he is the first tsa officer to die in the line of duty. his wife said he took pride in serving the american people. and hernandez as we see there, had two children. two other tsa officers, james spear and tony griggsby were wounded, but are out of the hospital. and a traveler who was shot in the leg, still in the hospital and listed now in fair condition. edward snowden, the man wanted for leaking nsa secrets has angered u.s. officials again. this time he is releasing now a manifesto calling out the u.s. and britain for their spying programs. his manifesto was published in a german magazine. and he writes, his actions have prompted debate and that the u.s. and britain are among the worst surveillance offenders.
9:08 am
snowden is living now in moscow, under asylum from the russian government. that's where we pick up the story with diana magna, who is also gauging reaction from the germans. >> there's a growing chorus of voices in germany calling for edward snowden to be granted asylum there. there's talk also about a parliamentary investigation into the tapping of chancellor angela merkel's phone, where snowden will be called on to testify. he said he's willing to testify. but he'd have to be granted asylum. it's possible of course for him to provide testimony from russian soil, but that might go against the grounds for his asylum. president putin has made it quite clear that he's a free man, but he can do nothing more that will damage u.s. interests. the german government spokesman said asylum is out of the question, that u.s./german relations must come first. suzanne? >> all right. thank you. now if edward snowden was attempting to get people to talk about spying, he has certainly done that. everybody from people at their

jobs and coffee shops, world leaders have an opinion. now the head of google, eric schmidt is weighing in. speaking out about the nsa snooping and the users of course, he was interviewed in our hong kong bureau. here's what he tout our christi lou stout. >> it's terrible policy. as an example, in the united states, it appears as though, according to the documents, that the national security agency tracked everyone's phone calls. in order to identify 300 suspects. we had to track according to the disclosures, 300 million people's activities. it doesn't seem right. it seems like overreach. over and over again this needs to be organized. there are legitimate uses of this. this is clearly overstep. in this particular case, we assume that there was monitoring between different computer systems. with enkrepgcryptioencryption. we can stop it. >> google is calling this
9:10 am
overreach. you're clearly angry about this. >> we are. >> amanpour, they stake their reputations on the ability to safeguard information users here. there are a lot of people who are very upset with what they're learning. is this genuine here? is this genuine backlash we're hearing from world leaders and how this is going to impact our relationship with others? >> well, i think a lot of it is gen genuine. some of it they have to say these kinds of things because of the public outrage, the heard the google chairman say they were outraged and they've complained many times to the nsa, to congress to president obama. i spoke from europe last week with the foreign minister of germany, guido vestivale who said in relationship to the tapping of angela merkel's phone. you can't catch terrorists by tapping your friend's phones and laid down the thesis that yes,
9:11 am
there are legitimate areas of espionage, yes, we have to find the bad guys, but it doesn't mean to say we can't find some kind of balance vis-a-vis all our citizens and all of those people who think that they're being tapped in and for which we find this unacceptable. so that's the debate that's going on in europe right now. whether it's in germany and spain or other places. having said that, they all know very well that there is a big link of intelligence-sharing and you know, between each other and with the nsa. >> do they, do they, how do they see snowden? do they think of him as a traitor? do they think he has provided some sort of public service to the world by revealing these kind of, the methods that the u.s. gets its information, its intelligence, sensitive intelligence? >> it fends on who you speak to. obviously the united states calls him a traitor and says what he's done is stealing the documents. they say that he needs to be held accountable in great britain, u.s. very close ally, they also don't think that this is helpful. prime minister cameron has spoken against the leaking of
9:12 am
all this material. it depends on where you, where you sort of seek information and description of what snowden has done. you heard just now from diana magna, as angry as the germans are, they are not willing to grant snowden the asylum. because they say the relationship with the u.s. comes first, as angry or as accommodating as putin has been, allowing snowden into moscow and saying he's a free man, he's put some conditions on it, saying you can't further damage u.s. interests. so there's a balancing act going on all over the place. also coming up around the world -- >> do not use crack cocaine, nor am i an addict of crack cocaine? >> that was toronto's mayor back in may after journalists claimed to see him smoking crack cocaine in a video. well now he is apologizing for what he calls, stupid things.
9:13 am
then the president uses twitter and it helps start a revolution in the middle east. coming up, how you can own a piece of it. twitter now going public. plus, what the world needs now, is it nuclear energy? well that is what a stunning new documentary claims. we're going to talk with one of the men behind the cnn documentary -- pandora's promise, what an anti-nuclear power attorney has to say about that as well. across america people are taking charge

crack. now rob ford admits he made a lot of mistakes. but other than drinking too much, he has not specified exactly what those mistakes are. and even though he's apologizing, he still says he is not going to resign. paula newton is covering the story from ottawa. paula, he made these comments, appearing on a radio station in toronto. how does he explain the video, first of all? >> well, believe it or not, suzanne, he's come a long way since basically claim there was no video. that's what his staff told me months ago. he said there was a video, but he was not smoking drugs on it he said he won't say that, because the video is part of a criminal investigation. i have to tell you, suzanne, it made international headlines, i was in europe over the weekend on assignment. it was front-page news there. people cannot believe that a mayor under criminal investigation in this way is still in office and is hanging on to his job. i want to you listen to a mild
9:18 am
mea culpa that mayor ford made yesterday. >> i'm not -- perfect. i have made mistakes. i have made mistakes and all i can do right now is apologize. i'm not going to sit here and say, i'm never going to drink again. that's not realistic. everything in moderation, rob. >> everything in moderation. >> you know, suzanne, is talking about getting ahold of his drinking and there's video and pictures of him being a little bit drunk at certain events. that does not address what is a krlg investigation. a legal video of stills coming out. last week in a court case that clearly show the mayor basically involved with people that have very serious charges against them. drug possession charges, drug trafficking charges and even extortion. it's a very tangled web and rob ford only apologized for a little bit of it. >> paula, he's still under
9:19 am
police investigation. he has acknowledged some wrongdoing. but he's still going to run for re-election, is that right? >> absolutely. he's not acknowledged any criminal wrongdoing. he's kind of taunting the police. he's in charge of the police department, he's got their budget right in front of him right now. he said i want everybody to see that video, assuming that it's going to vindicate him. that it does not show him smoking crack cocaine. in the meantime, unrepentant to what this has done to toronto. it's made world headlines, a distraction, when there are many other concerns in canada's largest city. he said i'm running again next fall. and even from people close to him who want to see him redeem himself through this, many are saying look, he's going to have to do so much more and show through his actions in the coming months that he's a responsible caretaker for toronto. >> we'll see what the voters decide. soccer fans out of control

"pandora's promise" focuses on those once against using nuclear energy, but now believe it is should power our growing energy needs so will energy power save the planet? just list ton part of this. >> it turns out that the united states has been buying up nuclear warheads from the russians. for over ten years now. 16,000 nuclear warheads. and we're recycling. all of these nuclear warheads into energy. electricity. nuclear power. so nuclear power is doing more to denuclear weaponize the world
9:46 am
than any other thing that we do. poetically, it's rather beautiful. the very things that were designed to blow up our cities, are now lighting up our cities. >> well i want to bring in michael shellenberger who tells his story in the film. of becoming a pro nuclear for nuclear power. he's joining us from berkeley, california, the president of the breakthrough institute, new york. we have dale brick, who joins us, the senior attorney director of the natural resources defense council, energy and transportation program, an anti-nuclear group. we'll all seen this, it's controversial, it's fascinating to watch. and it really takes you through from the very beginning, the development of nuclear energy. michael, i want to start with you, one of the things that struck me about this is how personal this is. to many of the people who are in this documentary. and you've got the protester who opens up screaming that this is
9:47 am
a death industry, a cancer industry, a bomb-making industry. talking about nuclear industry. now you describe, you visit this power plant in high school. you later become a consultant for the green groups, fiercely against nuclear power. you change your mind. why. >> well we got clear about how much energy the world is going to consume over the next half-century and century. so most of the world is not rich. china, brazil, india, they're not asking our permission to use the earth's resources and to consume energy. so good estimate is somewhere between double amount of energy we consume by mid-century. triple and quadruple it by the end of the century. i love solar and wind. i always have, last year in the united states, solar provided less than .1% of our electricity. wind provides more, but whenever the subsidy that it depends on comes into question in congress, all new wind projects come to a halt.
9:48 am
nuclear provides 20% of our electricity in the united states. in some places like france it provides 80%. we have a long track record of using it. and once you get over a lot of the irrational fears that we have about it and read the literature, it's the safest alternative that we have to koe coal. >> dale, you watched this film and believe a lot of it is propaganda. you call it a love song to the nuclear power industry. specifically, what are the things you think are not accurate that speaks to you? >> yeah, well i mean nuclear is moving forward in some countries where, where the energy sector is centralized planned economy. but in this country, we really want the market to help choose the winners and losers, and the main facts that are absent in the film are the cause of nuclear power. the nuclear renaissance is not
9:49 am
being realized in this country. not because the government is stopping the individual power plants, but because the market is not choosing nuclear. since the movie came out, since the beginning of the year, since the movie was filmed, the industry itself is shutting five nuclear plants, purely for economic reasons. and it's scrapping plants to get more nuclear power from existing plants at another five locations. not because of ideology or bias, because of inability of nuclear to compete in the marketplace against cheaper, cleaner resources like energy efficiency and renewable energy. >> i want you to address this point. they talk about this as a humanitarian issue. that the more countries that have power, electricity, a steady flow of energy, they're able to power up clinics and schools. all of a sudden they have a refrigerator, they live longer. how to provide that kind of power? because we're not, we're not using less power.
9:50 am
we're not conserving energy, we're using more power. so where does the energy come from when you look at the needs of people around the world? >> suzanne -- it's a great question. what's happening around the world is that the world is moving heavily towards coal. and it's a little disingenuous for the nrdc, a major lobby, it's you know, each of the big environmental groups have budgets around $100 million a year. they have actively sought to block nuclear for the last several decades. it's a little disingenuous to hear david say it wasn't us, responsible for keeping nuclear at only 20%. in fact, if the wind, it's funny to hear her talk about wind and solar. if the subsidies for wind and solar came to an end, there would be no wind and solar deployment. and dale knows that. the world is going to coal and the alternatives are not actually solar and wind. the alternatives are more coal, or nuclear. and that's what this comes down
9:51 am
to. if you care about the climate, four of the world's top climate scientists yesterday, came out with an open letter to environmental groups. if environmental groups weren't in the way, why would the climate scientists send an open letter to environmental groups, including the nrdc, asking them to halt nuclear and support the development of a new generation. >> i got it get dale back in here. to at least answer michael's criticism there. >> yes, well i would love for him to answer the challenges of the costs, the economic challenges that the industry faces. but of course we want to solve global warming and stop the climate crisis in the cheapest, fastest way that we can. and that's why we're focused on energy efficiency and renewables as the best solution. but the solution is to internalize the pollution cost, especially the carbon pollution cost, which we have not done in this country. and allow resources to compete against one another. and if we do that, if nuclear compete against efficiency and renewables on a level playing field.
9:52 am
we're confident that they will continue to win as they have been doing over many years. not because of ideology or bias or because we're -- you know, '70s, radical who is don't read science. but because of market forces and technology, the way technology has developed. and these other resources are better. so why not have a level playing field and allow nuclear to compete against renewals, they're winning. >> we're running out of time. we'll continue the debate throughout the week because this is a fascinating discussion and it really is a very provocative program and we recommend that everybody see it and you guys have seen it, we've all seen it. at this point, pandora's promise airing thursday at 9:00 p.m. eastern. thanks to our guests, we appreciate you both weighing in. and coming up, the president uses it to start a revolution in the middle east. how you can own a piece of this. we're talking about twitter going public. then soccer fans out of control in serbia. how they started this huge fire during a heated match. ♪

in most tech ipos, only about 20% of share goes to ordinary investors. it's why it pays to wait. remember facebook, the biggest tech ipo ever quickly became one of the biggest flops, the stock debuted at $38 a share. but three months later you could get it at half that price. right now the early wagering is that twtr shares, twitter, will rise when they start trading. but there's to way to know for sure. which brings me to blackberry. in 2008, blackberry stock traded at $147 a share. today? blackberry is in the single digits. big news this morning that blackberry has abandoned its plans to sell itself. it's in the hands of private equity investors, to figure out how to sal advantage what's left. the chief executive who tried to save the company is out, a new turn-around artist is in.
